also lsd in the air spins opposit direction


Well guys, I just put mine up in the air per request. Transfer case in neutral (manual shift.. no neutral position on automatics), transmission in neutral just to be sure. Spin one wheel by hand and the other spins.... in the SAME direction. Very tightly bound together, as well.. no lag. Spin one, the other spun in the same direction immediately.

Not sure what Jay has if his is spinning opposite directions. Maybe a broken or worn out LSD?

Now the thing I found interesting is this: The neutral position on the manual transfer case is between 4H and 4L (typical). When I spun the rear wheel, the rear drive shaft spun, which I expected, but the front drive shaft spun also. That means the front and rear output of the transfer case are tied together when in neutral, but disconnected from the transmission. This must be why it's recommended to remove the rear drive shaft if you tow it for long distances.


What the heck does it do in park. If there was no drag, potentialy a diff would spin in the same direction in neutral. Generaly the other wheel would go opposite because of drag and it's easier to turn the spiders, but to check for lsd, you will definately feel the clutch's drag when in park to get the other wheel to turn opposite.
